| Character Name | Description |
 Goku |
His real name is Kakaroto. He discovered that from his brother Raditz which is also the first time he learned that he is a Saiyajin. Not only is he a great warrior, but also a spectacular leader. Throughout the entire series, he had inspired many, including both of his sons, Gohan and Goten and especially Vegeta. He is a diligent and hardworking person who would never fail to take on new challenges. Even though he had became the most powerful warrior in the universe by defeating Freeza, he still strive to become better. After Future Trunks had foretold the arrival of the cyborgs and Dr. Gero. He could have opted for the easy path by getting to Dr. Gero before the cyborgs were created, but he chose to challenge himself instead by preparing for their arrival. Goku's unfaltering spirit and confidence is remarkable. After he forfeited the battle against Cell, no one, not even Gohan himself had the confidence to defeat Cell. Goku was the only one who had confidence in Gohan and followed through all the way to the end, even after Gohan was seriously injured and lost the will to fight. He never quits under any circumstance. Even after everyone gave up, his mind never stopped looking for solutions. Seconds before Cell was about to explode and destroy Earth, Goku realized he could teleport Cell to another location. His leadership and inspiration was proved needed as Future Trunks unveiled the grim story of his time where Goku died of a rare heart disease and everyone except for Trunks were killed. The most tragic of all was that Gohan's tremendous talent was never realized as he died under the hands of #17. After the Dragon Ball Warriors initial encounter with #17 and #18 and subsequently Cell, Goku realized that he must transcend the Super Saiyajin to stand a chance against the cyborgs. Under his guidance, an intensive training program in the "Time Room" was launched. During that time, he trained Gohan for the first time and fully unleashed Gohan's potential. The one person he had inspired most throughout the series was Vegeta. Vegeta entered the story as as an evil individual who would find any means necessary to satisfy his hunger for power who was also too proud to accept defeat. Through Goku's inspiration, Vegeta slowly transformed into a good hearted person who accepted himself. During Goku's final battle with Majin Buu, he openly accepted that he was no match for neither Buu nor Goku and willing to participate in the sidelines (by gathering energy for Goku's final strike) rather than the actual fight. |
 Gohan |
Gohan is the second most important characterr in Dragon Ball z. His father, Goku is the most important.Gohan grows up from a little child of 5 up to 25 in the series. Gohan's 15 minutes of fame was when he destroyed the great villian, Cell with a single Kame-Hame Ha. Another identity of Gohan was as the great Saiyaman. He defeated almost everyone in a tournament before the Supreme Kai interrupted a fight and stormed off with them towards Majin Buu, where eventually he turned into Mystic Gohan. Gohan was trained by the namekian Piccolo. Piccolo was first in the Dragon Ball series as a villian but then switched toward the good side. He never really liked Goku, but he did take a liking towards Goku's son,Gohan. He trained him and in the Vegeta saga, took a big blast intended for Gohan by Nappa a Saiyajin. The 2 got closer together as the series went on, and in one part Gohan sings a song to Piccalo about how much he admires him,while Piccolo looked on,insulted by this saiyajin warrior singing a song. Later in the series, Gohan began going out with the daughter of Mr.Satan, Videl. The two eventually got married. Son Gohan also made an apperance in Dragon Ball GT. In the Baby saga,Baby takes over Gohan's body and hits Piccolo with a Kame- Hame ha, while Piccolo retreats and carries Goten to safety. |
 Vegeta |
Even though he is evil at heart, Vegeta is perhaps one of the most strong-willed characters in the series. Like Son Gokou, he is extremely industrious, constantly striving to be better, but different purposes drove Vegita's spirit. Gokou fought to defend the lives and others and to challenge his limitations while Vegita fought to satiate his bloodthirsty appetite and die hard pride, which is unwilling to accept defeat. This gradually changes throughout the series. The primary driver of his will is Son Gokou. Vegita's defeat in his first encounter with Gokou and his unwillingness to accept Gokou being more powerful had constantly fuelled his strong will to continue to train himself. After seeing Gokou turn into Super Saiyajin and defeating Freiza, he grew even more jealous of Goku's achievements and immersed himself in intensive training. After much sweat and frustration, he finally became Super Saiyajin. He only enjoyed a fleeting moment of pride in destroying #20, before being defeated by #18. Vegeta's first catharsis occurred during Son Gohan's battle with Cell. Because of his rash decision to attack Cell when he did not have the power to, had caused Gohan's arm to be seriously injured when Gohan saved his life. Not only was he not even close to Cell's ability, but also served as a hindrance to Gohan. That was the first time Vegeta accepted his incapabilities by making an apology to Gohan. By the time Majin Buu appeared, what used to be a cold-hearted Vegita changed. Right before he proceeded to sacrifice his life in an attempt to destroy Buu, he told Trunks that he cared about him and how he felt bad about giving Trunks much less attention then Trunks deserved. During Son Goku's final battle with Majin Buu, Vegeta goes through a complete catharsis. He realized that Goku's pure and kind heart gave Goku the power that Vegeta never had. He finally realizes that the good ultimately prevails. |
 Trunks |
Trunks is the son of Bulma and Vegeta. Half Saiyan and half human, just like Gohan and Goten. Trunks was surrounded by a scientific enviroment. Having his mother and grandfather as scientists, Trunks became very intelligent at science. In the future, Trunks and Goten were battling the androids, but they were too strong, Bulma had completed a time machine and sent Trunks back to help Gokou and Gohan fight. Another version of Trunks is the small child version, Chibi Trunks. In most of the Dragonball Z series, Trunks and Goten fight side by side but in no major battles except fighting against Buu, which they were known as Gotenks after fusing. They are in the Brolly story and the "Fusion Form:Gokou and Vegeta" movie as well. They are in others too. Trunks is famous for killing Freiza by slicing him in half. This was Trunks' first appearance on the show. Of course, he is one of my favorite characters on the show. He was also one of the stars in the third and final dragonball series, Dragonball GT. Dragonball GT was about the journey around space that Trunks, Gokou, and Pan had traveled in search of the Dark Star dragonballs. Which is why GT stands for Grand Tour. |
 Goten |
Goten is the second son of Goku and Chi-Chi. He is a very skillfull fighter. He turned Super- Saiyan at the age of seven. Chi-Chi was training him at the time this happened. He did not need extreme rage to turn Super Saiyan this surprised everybody. Chi-Chi tried to make Goten study but he always played around. Chi-Chi didn't expect much from him as she did from Gohan. He is as smart as his father which is not very bright. He had a big lack of discipline. He loves to be with Trunks. They always get into trouble. When he fuses with Trunks they turn into Gotenks. Gotenks is able to reach Super Saiyan 3. Goten looks up to Gohan very much, he's his hero. Goten wanted to be just like Gohan. Goten did not get to see Goku very much. He only got to be with him a couple times in the series. |
 Bardock |
Bardock is the father of Goku and Radditz. He worked for Freeza conquering planets for him with his group of saiyan warriors. Bardock is a little depressed after they send Radditz away and doesn't think that it'll do him any good if he develops a bond with Goku. But in the end he goes and see's Goku. Bardock is a scientist and is the inventor of the artificial moon that some of the saiyans use in the beggining of DBZ. Bardock was given the power to see into the future in order to see his own doom, by a long since diminished race. Bardock looks into the future and is shown that Freeza will destroy the planet Vegeta. So he gathers together a group of warriors and plans to stop Freeza. Freeza who is pissed off from recently being attacked by King Vegeta and his men, decides to go out and have a little fun. He throws a huge blast at the planet and the warriors infront of it automatically die. Before he dies Bardock see's a vision of his son. Knowing that he will be the one to beat Freeza he dies happy. |
